A quick-moving storm with high winds slammed through last night, leaving a large, dead limb blocking the driveway. Fortunately, I was able to move it by myself, unlike the last time that happened.
The weather is warmer, causing me to look outside at the many chores I want to do. A brief observation of the yard turns up daffodils in bloom! They seem to have appeared overnight. I hear the spring courtship calls of cardinals, red-shouldered hawks and spring peepers. The forsythia is bulging with buds.
The Lenten Roses have not waited for Lent to bloom.
The greenhouse shelters the ever-growing zinnias, and I select additional seeds for starting: moon flowers. Moon flowers are similar to morning glories in that they bloom only for one day, but they bloom in the evening. The blooms are pure white about 4-5 inches across. When they start to open, you can actually see the bloom move. They will open in about 5 minutes.
